3 Claims.
This invention appertains to new and useful improvements in an apparatus for conveniently dispensing hairpins.
The principal object of the present invention is to provide a hairpin dispenser which will be desirable for use in hair dressing shops where at present the customer is imposed upon to hold hairpins and hand the same to the operator when called for.
Another important object of the present invention is to provide a hairpin dispenser which can be conveniently operated by the foot of the beauty operator whereby hairpins can be delivered to herself singly without additional manual assistance.
These and various other important objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent to the reader of the following specification.
In the drawings:
Figure 1 represents a side elevational view of the apparatus supported by a wall hanger.
Figure 2 is a fragmentary front elevational View of the apparatus.
Figure 3 is an enlarged horizontal sectional view taken substantially on line 3-3 of Figure 2.
Figure 4 is an enlarged fragmentary vertical sectional view through the hopper.
Figure 5 is a fragmentary horizontal sectional view taken substantially on line 5-5 of Figure 4.
Figure 6 is a fragmentary top plan View of the hopper showing the fastening means for the removable side wall.
Figure 7 is a fragmentary perspective View of operating connections presently described in detail.
Referring to the drawings, wherein like nu merals designate like parts, it can be seen that numeral 5 represents an elongated vertically disposed hopper, preferably square in cross-section. This hopper is open at its top and provided with the bottom wall 6 which is cut away as at l to expose some of the fingers 8 of the feed wheel 9 which has a `threaded bore therethrough for receiving the screw shaft I0 which supports the follower II at its upper end. This follower supports a quantity of hairpins thereon and access can be gained to the same and the hairpins thereon by the movable side wall I2 which is hinged at its lower end .as at I3 to the said bottom wall 6. The bottom wall 6 is provided with the upstanding barrel I4 to guide the screw shaft, while the sub-bottom wall I5 between which and the bottom wall 6 the wheel 9 is operative, has the depending guide barrel I6 through which the screw shaft I0 extends.
(Cl. SI12-90) Referring to Figure l, it can be seen that the numeral Il denotes a small tray having an up standing back wall I8 on which the permanent magnet I9 is located. An arm 20 pivotally secured to one side of the hopper 5 supports this tray Il which is magnetized, the hairpin resting between magnet i9 and tray Il which is magnetized to prevent the hairpin from falling. Numeral 2| represents an elongated substantially semi-circular shaped arm, the upper end of which is provided with the yoke 22 in which the tray Il is pivotally mounted the lower end of said arm being pivotally secured as at 23 between the ears 24 on the hopper 5. This semi-circular arm 2| is provided with the depending arm 25 whichdis connected by the pivotal link 26 to the arm 21 the latter being pivoted intermediate its ends, as at 21a, to a bracket 2lb extending from the hopper 5.
An operating connection is provided between the rod 29 and the link member 2'.' in the form of an arm 35 extending from said rod 29 and overlying the inner end of the link member as shown in Figure 7 of the drawings. An elongated coil spring 35 extends from the arm 23 to the pivotal connection 31 between the arm 25 and link 35 and from said connection 31 the coil spring 38 extends to the pivot 21a of the arm 2l.
It can now be seen that in the operation, downward movement of the rod 29 by a persons foot on the treadle 28 causes the semi-circular shaped arm 2| to be swung upwardly bringing the magnet I9 over the hopper 5, while at the same time the push rod 33 causes its head 24 to press against one of the fingers 8 of the wheel S so as to rotate the wheel suificiently to cause a slight upward movement of the shaft lil and the follower I I, the follower Ii pushing the quantity of hairpins thereon upwardly a slight distance. The tray I1 is constructed to pivot by gravity when off the support 28, so that it is not interposed between said magnet and the contents of the hopper 5. Upon release of the treadle 28, the mechanism will resume its position shown in Figure 1, the hairpins probably dropping off onto the tray Il, where it can be easily reached by the beauty shop operator. The tendency of the push rod 33 is to normally align itself with the arm 3| but said rod 33 is sufciently resilient to permit lateral iiexing thereof by the fingers 8 of the wheel 9 such as is required for rotation of said wheel by said rod and the opening 34a, is suiiciently large to permit such flexing.
If desired, a suitable wall plate, especially one of tapered design, can be secured to a wall 39 and a wedge-shaped socket structure 4G on one side of the hopper 5 can be engaged with such a wall plate for supporting the apparatus in the manner substantially shown in Figure 1.
Suitable spring fasteners 4l can be employed on the upper end of the hopper so as to engage the hinged side walls I2 and retain the same in closed position as shown in Figure 4.
While the foregoing specification sets forth the invention in specific terms, it is to be understood that Various changes in the shape, size, and materials may be resorted to without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as claimed hereinafter.
Having described the invention, what is claimed as new is:
1. A dispenser for hairpins comprising, a hopper, a feed screw extending upwardly into said hopper, a follower on the upper end of said screw operative by said screw to elevate the contents of the hopper, a toothed wheel at the bottom of the hopper threaded onto said screw and operative to elevate the same, a magnet swingably mounted at one side of the hopper for movement over the same to attract the contents therefrom, and means for swinging said magnet and operating said wheel including a foot pedal.
2. A dispenser for hairpins, comprising, a, hopper, a feed screw extending upwardly into said hopper, a follower on the upper end of said screw operative by said screw to elevate the contents of the hopper, a toothed wheel at the bottom of the hopper threaded onto said screw and operative to elevate the same, a magnet swingably mounted at one side of the hopper for movement over the same to attract the contents therefrom and tensioned against such movement, and means for swinging said magnet and operating said wheel including a foot pedal.
3. A dispenser for hairpins comprising a hopper, a feed screw extending upwardly into said hopper, a follower on the upper end of said screw operative by said screw to elevate the contents of said hopper, a toothed wheel at the bottom of the hopper threaded onto said screw and operative to elevate the same, a tray swingably mounted at one side of the hopper for movement into a position over said hopper, a magnet on said tray for attracting the contents of the hopper, and means for swinging said tray and. operating said wheel.
